FAITH WAS TESTED TODAY. FOR MANY ROMAN
CATHOLICS, POPE JOHN PAUL THE SECOND S
RESPITE IS A REMINDER OF HOW FRAGILE
THE HUMAN BODY CAN BE

BUT ALSO THE STRENGTH OF SPIRIT IN

TIMES OF SUFFERING. THE PONTIFF WILL
NOT LEAD SUNDAY PRAYERS FOR THE FIRST
TIME EVER IN HIS PAPACY, BUT HE WILL
JOIN IN FROM HIS 10TH FLOOR HOSPITAL
ROOM AND THAT SEEMS ENOUGH FOR HIS
FLOCK.

"HE'S HAD A GREAT INFLUENCE IN THE
WORLD, A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS AND I
HOPE HE RECOVERS QUICKLY."
SOT: THOMAS COBB/STUDYING IN ROME

"HE'S SUCH A SYMBOL AND HE'S BEEN
THROUGH SO MUCH AND HE'S IMPORTANT."

IN THE POPE S ABSENCE, THE VATICAN
UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE WILL READ THE
ANGELUS PRAYER AND DELIVERED A BLESSING
TO THE FAITHFUL IN ROME S SAINT PETER S
SQUARE.

STANDUP BRIDGE: For many of the world s
one BILLION Catholics, Pope John Paul
the Second is the only Pontiff they ve
ever known, and they re following his
recovery closely.

DOCTORS HAVE ADVISED THE POPE NOT TO
SPEAK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS HE
RECUPERATES FROM THURSDAY S TRACHEOTOMY
SURGERY. IN ITS LAST UPDATE, THE
VATICAN SAID THE POPE IS RECOVERING

WELL WITH NO SIGNS OF INFECTION, FEVER,
OR PNEUMONIA.

BUT IT KNOWS THAT THE POPE S ABSENCE IS
CAUSE FOR SPECULATION THAT PERHAPS THE
PONTIFF IS NOT WELL ENOUGH TO LEAD.
EVERY DETAIL OF HIS CONDITION BRINGS UP
QUESTIONS AND UNCERTAINTY ESPECIALLY
HIS ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND REACH
OUT TO WORSHIPPERS ONE OF THE MANY
HALLMARKS OF HIS PAPACY.

IN THE PAST, THE 84-YEAR-OLD HAS ALWAYS
MANAGED TO ATTEND SUNDAY PRAYERS HE HAS
REJECTED TALK OF A RESIGNATION BEFORE,
BUT ULTIMATELY, IT WILL BE UP TO THE
POPE HIMSELF WITH HELP FROM SOME DIVINE
INTERVENTION TO DECIDE THE NEXT STEP.
